After playing a recent tinyhunt on Von’s home site, I’ve asked him if he’d be willing to host a witch hunt here as our next mafia game.

For those unfamiliar with witch hunt, it is a mafia setup in which there are NO FLIPS. Your role and alignment are not revealed when you die. Instead, there are certain roles that can get information about players’ alignments or roles and find out info on dead players.

Everyone has a role, but... ANY role can be villager or witch, except for the priest or acolyte. Claiming holy is the only safe claim, as any other role that’s claimed could also be a scum member.

AND, dying doesn’t mean you’re out of the game. Dead players influence the game in various ways including providing protection.

A no-flip game would be good for the community after recent games, I think. It’ll allow newer players the opportunity to build their skills and not rely on claims to solve the game.

Claims must be taken into account of course, but players must world build in witch hunt based on who claimed what and what information they provided. Ex. If player A is the gravedigger and told us that player B was a witch, in a world where player A is town we can then build potential scumteams based off player B. But if player A is lying, player A is a witch and we must deduce what information is real.

I think it’ll give the current player base a great opportunity for scumhunting and worldbuilding and things that will translate great into a more role-light normal mafia setup.

But Von won’t run it unless there’s sufficient interest. It would probably be a 13-17 player game, so don’t express interest unless you’d like to play and be active!

This isn’t a signup thread, just a potential interest. Von will post signups once a sufficient number of people have expressed interest. Just trying to make sure we don’t have to fill with randos who won’t post.
